Dear Chickenlady,
can I burn lumps of pallet that still have nails in them that I've tried to take out but they won't come out cos they're too long and rusty?

Why not?
You just take the nails out of the ash.

That's what I thought
but I was worried they might ASPLODE AND KILL ME

You're getting metal confused with bombs there.

Nail bombs are full of win.

No,
they're full of nails and explosives,
and they kill people.

Pfft!
But they do it spectacularly.

Yes
as long as you take care when emptying the ash out later

how do
have you tried hitting the point with a hammer to try and drive it back out the way it came?

Yes.
Plus tried levering them out with hammer claw and crowbar. I get most of them out but it's a bugger to saw up the wood when they're well stuck.

That's why carpenters hate using old wood.
Instead of sawing them, have you tried snapping them by jumping on them while they sit between two bricks?

You don't know how amazingly clumsy I am, do you?
The chances of me having some sort of permanent disability form this are high. I'm already scarred from dropping a giant piece of particleboard on my shin. I fell up the stairs twice this week and I accidentally punched myself in the mouth last night while sitting on the sofa watching Home and Away.

to be fair
you deserved the punching for watching Home and Away

and for reminding me of when I hit myself in the eye with a book
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 17 Nov 2009, 15:35, Reply)

Home and Away
is background wallpaper TV for when you eat your tea. Besides, don't mock me - al watches Hollyoaks.

Why would you bring me into this!? WHY!? What have I ever done to you!?
Honestly, I take you to the best indian restaurant in London, I clean my toilet and give you an excuse not to sleep with Sexface and you meet your fiancee, and you go and tell the whole internet about what I like to do when I get back from work.

I will NEVER forgive you for this. NEVER!

It was the nicest two hours I've ever spent in a queue.

but the seek kebabs, oh god, those seek kebabs.

(Bazongaloid, Tue 17 Nov 2009, 15:48, Reply)

really want an indian now you bastard
will probably have one at the weekend I reckon
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 17 Nov 2009, 15:54, Reply)

No you won't
what you'll have is a pale imitation of what you could have if you came to London. You should come to London, I'll take you to the Tayyabs. It will be AMAZING.

fucking hell I hate hollyoaks so much
I find it embarrassing to watch
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 17 Nov 2009, 15:39, Reply)

I always feel like punching myself in the mouth when I watch home and away.
Nothing strange there.
